Evolutionist Warns: Natural Selection Will Destroy Us
American Vision ^ | March 8, 2011 | Gary DeMar

Nobel Prize winning Biochemist Christian de Duve, a professor emeritus at New York City’s Rockefeller University and 1974 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, warns that “natural selection has resulted in traits such as group selfishness being coded in our genes. These were useful to our ancestors under the conditions in which they lived, but have become noxious to us today.” Rape and killing the weak were also useful, and with no God, perfectly “moral.”

...

It’s humorous to watch atheists try to build a case for a moral universe without God. The latest popular attempt is the Center for Inquiry and its ad campaign “You don’t need God—to hope, to care, to love, to live.” I wonder how this slogan would have worked when competing life forms came up out of the primordial ooze and the stronger chomped down on the weaker in order to insure its evolutionary future. “Since there is no God,” the strong Amoeba said to the weak Amoeba, “there is no reason why I can’t use you for food or enslave you to make my life more fulfilling. Who is there to object except a stronger Amoeba.”

Huh? Is this guy seriously asserting that nobody had any problem with murder prior to the time of Christ??

Christian tradition, that is, the ethical, social, theological, etc underpinnings of Christianity pre-dates the time of Christ. It reaches back to the opening words of the Book of Genesis.

"The scientists behind evolution have no basis for morality or the so-called good or meaningful life"

Sure they do, or so they say...

“For a justification of our moral code we no longer have to have recourse to theological revelation, or to a metaphysical Absolute; Freud in combination with Darwin suffice to give us our philosophic vision.” — Julian Huxley, Philosophy in a World at War.
